Thraulgwyn Tribal Band

A thraulgwyn tribal band is a hamlet-scale settlement in the Labyrinth, with population varying by tribe and circumstance. It survives through fungus, fish, water, grubs, bugs, scavenging Forge Lord sites, raiding neighboring tribes, and cannibalism.

Thraulgwyn bands are social groups with leaders, sacred treasures, rivalries, quirks, taboos, and parley possibilities, not only as raiders.
